One of the most successful online education platforms, Udacity, bet significantly on teaching skills for the jobs of the future with the launch of its school dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI).

The School of Artificial Intelligence is a web portal in which students can choose different learning paths to master AI concepts and tools. It offers specialization in computer vision, natural language processing, reinforcement learning, artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning.

Through the different courses and Udacity’s Nanodegrees, students will learn tools such as Python, NumPy, and Tensorflow. Also, these certifications promise to qualify students to develop applications and artificial neural networks.

This effort is not isolated. Google recently launched its AI portal with free machine learning courses. Likewise, Microsoft announced that a new upgrade of its Windows 10 OS will be enriched with resources aimed at developing applications and user experiences with artificial intelligence features.

More than seeing these type of educational offers as a passing fad, learning and understanding the reach of artificial intelligence are critical to develop technology at the service of people, and thus face with knowledge the coming of automation.
